Poise Impressa Incontinence Bladder Support for Women, Bladder Control, Size 3, 8 Count (Packaging May Vary)

I actually bought these to use as a pessary device when my prolapse suddenly worsened until I can find a new GYN and discuss more permanent options. It was just so distended that I was aware of it all day and made me very uncomfortable. After a couple of weeks of almost daily use, it seems to be less pronounced when I’m not using it.As an added bonus - I had no idea something like this even existed for bladder leaks. I have stress incontinence that is only problematic when jumping, usually only when 2 feet hit the ground at once but sometimes when running too. I usually just wear a liner when I think I might have an issue. After testing it at home for this purpose it seems to work very well! No more pee pads for me!!You insert it just like a tampon. It has more of a formed shape and feel than a tampon does. Once inserted I don’t feel it at all and only remember it’s even there because of the string hanging down. Unlike a tampon it’s also non absorbent. I googled just using a tampon to help with my issue but that is to be avoided if not needed for a menstrual cycle. A tampon’s absorbency when not needed can lead to TSS.My only complaint is that the sizing kit is not quickly available. I think I saw one but wanted to start using the product immediately. Of course size 3 works best for me and that’s the size I bought last after buying the other 2. As they aren’t cheap, I’m just trying to use those up on days that I am not as active.I also wish these were available in stores. I don’t mind buying them in Amazon, but I had no idea they even existed until googling my issue in a panic one weekend. I’m certain there are tons of women that could use these for one purpose or another. If these were available at grocery & drug stores with the other Poise items more women would discover them.

Works amazingly

I find that using Impressa has significantly improved my bladder control. I'm not going to the bathroom excessively ALL DAY or having accidents or near misses.. I just feel more confident.Start with the starter kit to determine your correct size. In the beginning I had difficulty inserting it into my vagina. I wasn't able to press the "tampon" out of the tubing. I had success by removing the tampon from the tubing and applying a dab of water-based lube to the head of it. I was them able to use my hand to slide it into place.DRAWBACK: The price. I find it expensive, approximately $32-$35 per order. You only get 21 pieces instead of 30 which I would consider a month's supply. I plan to use them only on the days I plan to be away from home to keep the cost within my budget.All in all, I like this product, and I plan to share this information with my friends.

OMG these are the worst things I have ever used. So painful. Insertion was done as explained in directions. Left it in for about 20 minutes but no relief. Finally couldn't take it anymore so I removed it. Was more pain to remove it. It had blood on it. Shocked To see the shape of it. Instead of it being the shape you would think, it is a square shape which is an unnatural shape for the body. It had blood on it. Will not order these again. Wish I could leave all clear stars.

These have worked so far with bladder leaks when exercising. They are comfortable, but I did bleed a little but I have read that is because of the material that they are made out of.

For years I struggled with leaking while playing soccer and running. I was so embarrassed; I thought I had to just accept that this was my life now after having kids until my friend told me about this item. I figured I'd give it a try because nothing could be worse than my current situation. And guess what? I. Was. Dry!! For the first time since giving birth and playing sports - I WAS DRY. Easy to use. Easy to remove. DRY. NO LEAKS. I have never felt more confident playing soccer or running. Go for it! You deserve to get your confidence back, too!

These do help in stopping a sense of urgency and therefore in preventing leaks. But the quality varies so much. In some, the “plunger” ( much as in a tampon) works fine, but in others it is very hard to move. When this happens, the product is wasted.Also, why does the inserter have to be made of hard plastic? This is uncomfortable and not good environmentally. As a previous reviewer noted, when you get a defective one, the pointed edges can hurt.The idea of the product is good, but the product itself varies from very helpful to impossible to use.

Finally! A solution that works! After giving birth, coughing, hard laughing, jumping, and jogging have been out of the question without serious pad protection. I’ve even had PT and $$$ injection procedures with my urologist that didn’t last more than a couple of hours.I currently have a cold with a cough and within 5 minutes of putting one of these in, I had a coughing fit and no leak!! None. I’m amazed! A few hours later and still no leaks - woohoo!I skipped the size fit kit and went straight to size 3. I can handle larger tampons okay and my leaking is pretty bad so I took the chance on size 3 after reading that many women didn’t have great results with size 1 or 2.Don’t wait. If you have this issue too, order immediately. I can’t believe I didn’t know about these before this week! I could have saved 7 years of misery.I will update my review if anything changes. Otherwise, my subscribe and save order has been submitted! :D
